Open questions

• The Veldkornetskap Oliphants Rivier farms - is this family tied to any of them beyond its own place? priority 2 · LEAD-0270

  Eleven Uniondale farms from the George rolls are now on the map - Nietgenaamd 9, Gorgida 14, Misgund 25, Moerasfontein 27, Keurfontein 45, Wilge River 46, Schoongezigt 52, Roodeheuvel 55, Diepe Kloof 56, Buffels Klip 63, Wilgehoute Rivier 69. *** NOT ONE OF THEM CARRIES A SINGLE OWNERSHIP ROW OR A NAMED HOLDER IN THIS MODEL. *** They are neighbours read off a roll, pinned to a cadastre. Is there any actual family tie to them, or only to Wanhoop and Modderfonteyn?

  What would settle it A named holder on one of those eleven farms who is already a person here, or marries one.

• Sheet 1 of the Wilgehoute Rivier diagram, and the loan place Wilgerivier priority 3 · LEAD-0301

  DOC-0342 is marked SHEET 2 OF 2 and sheet 1 is not held. Its northern legend reads 'LOANPLACE WILGERIVIER LEASED BY WAGENAAR, COMBRINCK & HANIBAL' - three lessees on one loan place, which is unusual enough to be worth the sheet that explains it.

  What would settle it The first sheet.

What the record is missing

• Nobody is on record as ever having held this third order · B8 never-held

  Wilgehoute Rivier No. 69 (Uniondale) is in the model and drawn on the map, and carries no ownership record of any kind, not a grant, not a transfer, not an occupation.

  What would settle it The Surveyor-General's diagram for the farm number names the grantee and the date; the deed reference on it opens the transfer chain.

Found by breaks.py reading the model against itself, not written by hand, each one is a shape of missing record, not a fault in the data. The whole set is on the questions page.
